Some standard recommended ideas are changing your environment, reading more, establishing a routine, pushing ahead no matter what or gamifying the challenge. Others advocate embracing imperfection- not to get to caught up in the chiselling of it all, freewriting, discussing with fellow writers or like minded people and taking care of oneself. According to me, as Polonius said to Laertes, to thine own self be true. In simple words do what works for you, period.(less)

Soho Vanishing
Sunil Kumar
At its heart, The Soho Vanishing was born from an obsession—the kind that lingers in old books, shadowy theatres, and whispered conversations with ghosts of the past.

Sunil Kumar shared a quote
Outlive by Peter Attia
“Even Ancel Keys, the famed nutrition scientist who was one of the founding fathers of the notion that saturated fat causes heart disease, knew this was nonsense. The problem he recognized was that much of the basic research into cholesterol and atherosclerosis had been conducted in rabbits, which have a unique ability to absorb cholesterol into their blood from their food and form atherosclerotic plaques from it; the mistake was to assume that humans also absorb dietary cholesterol as readily. “There’s no connection whatsoever between cholesterol in food and cholesterol in blood,” Keys said in a 1997 interview. “None. And we’ve known that all along. Cholesterol in the diet doesn’t matter at all unless you happen to be a chicken or a rabbit.”

Outlive by Peter Attia
“The good news is that we have tremendous agency over this. Changing how we exercise, what we eat, and how we sleep (see Part III) can completely turn the tables in our favor. The bad news is that these things require effort to escape the default modern environment that has conspired against our ancient (and formerly helpful) fat-storing genes, by overfeeding, undermoving, and undersleeping us all.”
